I stopped by my LGS yesterday, mostly just to look around and kill time, but the fact that I was low on .22lr was definitely on my mind. They had a whole pallet of black plastic boxes marked "CCI .22lr SV 40gr Factory Seconds." I'm a big fan of CCI Standard Velocity among other loads in my Marlin 981T, and of course my .22 SAA will eat anything I feed it, so at $7.49/200rds, I bought 3 boxes to try out. Upon getting them home and opening one of the boxes, I'm seeing no flaws. Nice clean brass, no bullet deformation, other than maybe a little too much wax on the bullets themselves, they look like any other CCI ammo.
I'll get a chance to shoot some of them on Sunday, but barring any disasters at the range, has anyone had any negative experiences with this stuff that would keep me from buying another couple thousand? I never knew such a critter existed until I saw it on the shelf, so all feedback is welcome!
